Chapter 314: Twin Swordsmen, Belmond and Theobold
314 – Twin Swordsmen, Belmond and Theobold
I activate [Humanisation Technique]. Burning heat runs through my body as I quickly shrink. I’ve more or less gotten used to the pain, so it doesn’t bother me at all. But I just wish I didn’t have to feel so lethargic as half my vitality is taken away.
I put on the clothes I spat out earlier and head into the cave. I can’t take a lot of time here. I need to quickly neutralise those inside and rescue the hostages. With my physical abilities, it should easily be doable.
Running into the cave is fine and all, but… There’s no light here at all. It’s decently long, so the light doesn’t reach the depths. I do have [Presence Perception] though, so if they want to fight in the darkness, then I’m fine with that.
I open my eyes wide and concentrate on the precise positions of the heat sources. By straining my eyes, I can faintly make them out. My eyes are becoming accustomed to the darkness.
My attack, defence, and HP are all halved, and there are a bunch of skills I can’t use, but… That’s not enough to stop me. I kick off the ground and swing my arm towards one of the presences.
“Hih! S-something’s coming!”
Something shoots towards me. I immediately turn my face to the side.
An arrow skims past my cheek, grazing it. If I had my ouroboros scales, this level of attack would never damage me… My reduced defence is a problem, as is my lack of reach.
